Oh no, is not intuitive at all. It’s just that 1-100 is the most common human scale range. Celsius isn’t intuitive either.
If we wanted to be intuitive or unambiguous, we’d use Joules per square meter and bucket that by source (direct solar, radiant heat, atmospheric heat, etc.)
That’s a bit less directly applicable to “is it hot outside” than a general “temperature” unit though.
Totally agree, I prefer C for anything related to cooking because the range is suited for that. For general feel of the outdoors, F makes sense (though C can too, I’m just much more okay with using different units for different things).
It’s all vibes when it comes to this specific situation. Length is meters all the way
The one thing farenheit has going for it is that it’s on a human scale.
0F is really fucking cold 0C is just pretty cold
50F is pretty comfortable 50C is basically dead
100F is really fucking hot 100C is you’re dead
This is really only because you’re familiarized with Fahrenheit.
I hear it’s 40’C and I don’t think “well that’s much less than 100 so…” it’s not how that actually works
People in Australia seeing the 45 on their thermometers and putting on a jumper to hike to the shops
americans please learn the difference between something being intuitive and something being taught to you from the age of 4
